theory and practice of financial reporting by analyzing the reporting
practices from an accountant’s perspective. True and fair financial reporting
is the basic requirement for achieving the objectives if Islamic financial

status of the companies has been spotlighted. It depicts the impact of

misclassification of operating and non operating income and expenses,
understatement and capitalization of expenses on financial statements. The
management manipulates financial statements to have good impression

and provides valuable input for the motives for aggressive reporting and
outright fraud. It highlights the importance of accounting model to help
and trace the manipulated financial statements for efficient investment
decisions. The results of the study cannot be generalized to all countries
